Tortilla Trouble

I love Mexican food. I think it is hard to find good Mexican food in Utah, so I like to cook to my tastes. Before the dreaded Celiac diagnosis, I loved to make a chicken and cheese quesadilla for a quick lunch. Unfortunately, flour tortillas make the best quesadillas. At the GF Expo this year Udi's had a sample of their GF rice flour tortilla. It was good, but the amount of tortillas you get for the price is outrageous.

While grocery shopping last week, I found these tortillas in the refrigerated section. They are uncooked GF corn tortillas. They come in a package of 30 for around $3.00. I decided to pick up a pack and use them to make enchiladas. I'm really glad I didn't spend more than I did for them because I was severely disappointed.

Why? When you open the package an immediate odor of cheap rubber wafts up to your nose. To me, that is a big red flag. Tortillas shouldn't smell like a pair of Old Navy flip-flops. Another reason is you need to have a surgeon's hand to separate the tortillas without breaking them in 7 parts. I also thought they didn't cook evenly and still broke apart after cooking.

Sorry TortillaLand, your corn tortillas are a total fail.

I'm really frustrated with the tortilla situation. Do you have a favorite brand of tortilla that is affordable? Do you make your own? Do you have any tips to make your GF Mexican food cooking less of a headache? Suggestions are welcome, my insatiable appetite will thank you!
